It's well known that as part of our Five Year Plan, every year we comrades are privileged to spend a week in the country working on the collective farms in support of Socialist Agriculture. It's less well known that we are also required to spend a week in selfcritical exercise where we explore the implications of unplanned so-called ket interventions in our ideological state apparatuses (for the Seinfeldniki, we call this "Bizarro S.S.R.") During this period, we are allowed to think heretical thoughts about agricultural subsidies from First World governments to wealthy farming conglomerates. But after it, we purge ourselves of unclean thoughts and go back to eating Fidel Chex from Whole Foods while listening to NPR, and watching the Macneil/Lehrer Newshour, sponsored by ADM, Superket to the World.

Every one of "them" on this ng knows his wordforms and spelling far, far better than you do, by exhibition in thousands and thousands of posts. Their resistance to your namecalling, insults, and attempts at bullying show very well that they do "think for themselves". Reading Coulter for "objective points"? Those are mighty few and far between with her ("Hitler and Stalin were Liberals", for example). Not her line of work, as a self-described (and aggrandizing) polemicist. --D-y

My post was only for a laugh. I'm not at all sure what it has to do with global warming -- I just liked the way it rolled off the tongue -- like a good beer. But taking you half-serious, for which I hope you appreciate the stretch, it isn't at all a "free ket." Q: And then what...? "'In the US, land that was cultivated for growing barley has been given over to corn because of the ethanol demand,' said Levin Flake, a grains trade analyst at the US department of agriculture." Since the guvmint has heavily interfered with the corn/ethanol ket, even you might see the ripple into the barley ket. > Have some compassion for the poor suckers who prefer > to drink corn whiskey, or soy, um, whatever alcohol > is made from soy (Soy beer, for those of you allergic > to wheat?)

The ethanol industry in this country is presently using some 15% of the corn crop. This is the corn that's been feeding the third world and already food prices of corn products have taken a large jump up. President Bush has tried to sooth the Liberals/Lunatic Environmentalists by claiming that we're going to replace 20% of our present petroleum with ethanol. Just so you understand what's going on here - if we used 100% of the corn crop we produce, it could only replace 12% of the petroleum we use. And let's talk about the effects here - if we were to replace ALL of the petroleum we use and EVERY OTHER COUNTRY DID AS WELL - the change in CO2 according to the UN paper would equal .04 degree in the next 100 years. And what would the results of this big switch be? Well, already wheat and rice crop areas are switching over to corn because it looks like the prices will be better. Corn isn't as productive as wheat and other crops so one other side effect is a reduction of food production. The USA produces about 60% of the surplus food in the world. But now the upper middle class whites want to take the food out of the mouths of the starving people in the world so that they can feel like really green. So what are the costs of the "green revolution" going to be? Millions of dead people all murdered by upper middle class white values.

President > Bush has tried to sooth the Liberals/Lunatic Environmentalists by claiming > that we're going to replace 20% of our present petroleum with ethanol. Er... no. Once agriculture became big business (which happened many, many years ago), subsidies for crop production (of which one of the most-significant, and most-often-left-out subsidies, is water) have been a true bi-partisan effort. Bush isn't trying to appease the liberals & environmentalists... he's trying to make huge agricultural businesses more money. Putting a potentially-liberal spin on it is an accidental benefit. > Just so you understand what's going on here - if we used 100% of the corn > crop we produce, it could only replace 12% of the petroleum we use. Agreed. It's a terribly inefficient use of resources. And you skipped an easy target, too. Shame on you. How could you pass up those full-page ads Clinton ran a while back, talking about how great Brazil was because they were producing so much gas from ethanol? Never mind that they're using land made available through the destruction of their rain forrests, something the world is badly in need of. > And let's talk about the effects here - if we were to replace ALL of the > petroleum we use and EVERY OTHER COUNTRY DID AS WELL - the change in CO2 > according to the UN paper would equal .04 degree in the next 100 years. And there's where you go & blow it. You keep coming back to your "global warming is nonsense" tirade. Even if you believe that, you don't have to polarize the issues by banging people over the head with it. It's like this. There may, or may not, be an absolute truth to many great dilemmas. Doesn't matter. Within the decision made, you can still do the best you can to make the world just a little bit better place, even if you don't agree with the reasons for doing so. A "wrong" reason for doing something may still create a better world. In your case, you just have to accept the fact that you, and a handful of other people, believe everyone else is wrong. Get over it. You're not going to change their minds. But you can, within the framework that they create, try and make things the best they can be.

I find it curious that someone as obviously intelligent as you is so easily misled. Here's a clue - if you had ACTUALLY read the Duelfer report instead of pretending to read it by quoting a paragraph from the sumy, you'd have actually learned the truth. But that was too much trouble since you could more easily parrot Al Gore. You can do a Google search and hit a thousand sites telling you what a horrible loss of rainforest we're seeing. The problem is that most of it is lies and distortions. (Worldwatch reported that Canada was losing 200,000 hectares of forest a year - fact is that Canada is GAINING 176,000 hectares annually). One Green Group tells us that there are only 2 billion hectares of rain forest in the world and that 16 million of them are being lost each year. "Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years." (by the way - this group blames part of the destruction of rainforsest on - you guessed it - oil companies searching for oil). Want some truth (you can't handle the truth!) - Landsat satellite surveys of rainforest show that 87.5% of rain forests are intact and of the other 12.5% half of it is regenerating itself. 94% of the Amazon rain forest is pristine. Patrick Moore, a founding member of Greenpeace, says "the rainforests of the Amazon, Congo, Malasia, and Indonesia, ... are the least endangered forests [because] they are the least suitable for human habitation." Why do you suppose Patrick Moore quit Greenpeace? Because they lie to people like you who. like, really want to be hip and cool and, like, be really environmentally concious. It's, like, too bad you're actually unconcious. The researchers also looked into claims about 50,000 species going extinct each year in the rainforest. And what did they find? Well, when they asked a member of Rainforest Relief to produce even one species that has gone extinct, the individual replied "No we cannot, because we don't know what those species are." Apparently, the extinction statistics are generated by a computer at Harvard University and may, in fact, carry no more semblance to reality than "electrons on a hard drive." What is plain is that most of the people here want to seem to act young - to be college minded indiciduals from the 60's instead of adults. And so we see the results - global warming is SO IMPORTANT. Too bad no one cares that it's all a hoax, just as Global Cooling was in the 70's. Here's something worth reading so I don't suppose anyone here will: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19625

Can store it once and forever. Beer drinkers could have a problem. Reminds me of Turk and Caicos Islands, on Grand Turk Island. Coca Cola and beer were relatively expensive because the fresh stuff came by plane. Bourbon on the other hand was pretty much normal price, since the scotch and bourbon came by barge. Forced to drink straight bourbon for two weeks. Or was that straight bourbon for two straight weeks? A bit fuzzy now. Just kind of remember lots of conch and bourbon. And the real issue appears to be that with global warming, you have to drink faster, before the ice dilutes the whiskey/whisky. Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels...

If farmers convert barley fields to corn and soy and the ket price for barley goes up and beer gets more expensive, how can you argue with the free ket? Have some compassion for the poor suckers who prefer to drink corn whiskey, or soy, um, whatever alcohol is made from soy (Soy beer, for those of you allergic to wheat?) The only thing I'm sure of is that no matter what, ADM, Superket to the World, will be making a profit on it. Ben
